This recipe is so ridiculously easy to make and just taste so good, that I found it worth sharing. Despite my many efforts I am still not MasterChef-worthy, but experimenting with food and dishes still keeps being fun. Sometimes it works out and…. sometimes it doesn’t (Last week I had a fatal attempt trying to make a pasta and fish dish with a mustard sauce- which overpowered way too much!). But this dish is simple and so delicious, you just can’t screw this one up. I made this dish for my friend C. when she came over for dinner on New Years Eve. In case you are a vegetarian, this dish is also tasty for you. Read on to get the recipe! Lees verder →

To inspire you for Christmas! I love this time of the year. The city is beautifully decorated and you kind of trip over all the Christmas trees that are everywhere. This weekend is The Amsterdam Light Festival. I wanted to photograph the holiday lights at night, since they are at their best then. I tried with my Samsung phone but unfortunately that did not go very well. Much too blurry and unsharp. So I will owe you that, but first let me share these pics with you!

This weekend I am leaving the city to go and visit my parents. My plans are to use their spacious kitchen to do some cooking ( I want to make my own pumpkin soup!), take a stroll in the forest (which is so lovely during autumn), watch episodes of my latest addiction tv-series Rizzoli & Isles from the comfort of the couch and to just relax and read a lot. I’ve also listed my current tips/reads that I’d love to share with you! What are your plans for the weekend? Lees verder →

I’ve got my mojo back! At least, as good as can be. But I’m getting to the point where it has been. And right now that is good enough for me. After a kind of restless last week (which is difficult for me, because feeling restless can make you feel uncomfortable sometimes) this week went pretty fast. For the next few weeks I’ve got some nice events coming up, something I really look forward to. But now it is time to welcome the weekend by sharing some of my personal tips and inspirations that I collected over this week!Lees verder →
